*”Easy Grip” scissors are the perfect ‘first scissors’ for early cutting skills. They are light, self-opening and far easier to use than conventional scissors as they do not require as much finger and wrist strength. They are also ideal for children who have not yet established a hand dominance as they can be swapped from left to right hands.
